Meet the Creators
As a mother-daughter team and co-founders of The Uncluttered Life, Inc., a professional home organizing company, and Hack Decks, we have spent years helping people create homes and lives that feel calmer, more functional, and easier to manage.
Our backgrounds are different, but they complement each other naturally. Danica brings design, creativity, communication, and entrepreneurship. Cathy brings decades of professional organizing experience, advanced KonMari expertise, and a deep understanding of the challenges people face in their homes.
Together, we share one goal: to create thoughtful, practical solutions that help people feel less overwhelmed and more confident about taking the next step.
Our Unique Perspective
Where Organization Meets Human Behavior
Our perspective was shaped by years of working directly with people in their homes and everyday lives. Through The Uncluttered Life, we learned that clutter was rarely the only problem. Many clients felt mentally exhausted before they even began. They were balancing work, family, health, responsibilities, and countless daily decisions. Even when they wanted to make a change, deciding where to start often felt like one more burden.
Those experiences changed the way we viewed organization. We began to understand that progress is not always about working harder. Sometimes, it begins by making the next step feel smaller, clearer, and more manageable.
That understanding continues to guide our work. Everything we create is rooted in real-world experience and the belief that simple support can lead to meaningful change.
Danica Carson, Creator and Designer of Hack Decks
I am a professional organizer, designer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of The Uncluttered Life and Hack Decks.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley, in Media Studies with an emphasis in fine arts. My background in design, visual communication, marketing, and creative problem-solving shapes the vision, structure, and user experience behind Hack Decks.
Working as a professional organizer taught me to look beyond how a space appears. I became interested in how people make decisions, why they feel stuck, and what helps them move forward.
As the creator and designer of Hack Decks, I lead the product development, creative direction, and visual identity of the brand. I think carefully about how each product looks, feels, and functions.
My goal is to create tools that feel supportive rather than overwhelming—products that are approachable, useful, and beautifully designed for real life.
Cathy Orr, Certified KonMari Master Consultant, Decades of Experience
I am a Certified KonMari Master Consultant, professional organizer, and co-founder of The Uncluttered Life and Hack Decks. I bring more than 30 years of organizing experience to our work.
I trained in Marie Kondo's methodology and served as a panelist for the KonMari Consultant Certification Course in 2020. The KonMari Method provides a strong foundation for my work, but I also understand that every person, family, and home is different.
Over the years, I have learned that organizing is deeply personal. Our belongings often hold memories, emotions, responsibilities, and difficult decisions. My role is to listen, understand, and help each client create systems that support the way they truly live.
I also hold a Master of Science in Health Policy and Law from the Univerity of California, San Francisco. This background gives me a unique perspective when organizing medical paperwork, health records, insurance information, and other complex documents.
My experience has taught me that thoughtful organization can bring more than order. It can create relief, clairty, and a grater sense of control during demanding seasons of life.
Complementary Experience, One Shared Vision
Danica contributes design, communication, entrepreneurship, and creative problem-solving. Cathy brings decades of professional organizing experience, KonMari expertise, and practical insight.
Together, we combine creativity with structure and design with real-life experience. We challenge, encourage, and learn from one another, bringing both perspectives into everything we create.
Our work is grounded in the belief that people do not need perfection. They need practical support, a clear place to begin, and tools that make everyday life feel more manageable.
This is why we created Hack Decks.
